                                 In  the concert  I  visited yesterday, the great pianist  was being  called a            141
                                "genius", I was skeptical because, do we not give the word "genius" to the
                                people who are great scientists?

                                 Ah haa!!!!  there you  go,  lets learn today  about the different  types  of
                                intelligences that  human beings possess  and its not only  the  logical  and

                                mathematical  one. You will be even more surprised  to know that  AI  is
                                categorised into further types. Lets take a look on some of them.

                 You have learnt that artificial intelligence refers to the software technologies that enable
                 a robot or computer to act and think like humans. It is the simulation of human intelligence

                 processes through machines, especially computer systems. Artificial intelligence imparts
                 cognitive abilities to machines, meaning it can make machines perform tasks in an intelligent
                 way.


                   Intelligence


                 Intelligence  refers  to the ability to think, to learn from previous experience, to solve
                 complex problems, and to adapt to new things and environment.


                   Types of Intelligence


                 Humans have cognitive abilities that allow them to learn, form concepts, understand, and
                 apply logic and reason, as well as recognise patterns, comprehend ideas, solve problems,
                 make decisions, retain information, and communicate using language.

                 According to the Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner's theories, humans do not just

                 have an intellectual capacity but also multiple types of intelligence. A person can be strong
